Century City, Cape Town

Office Manager, 12-floor commercial tower

The Situation

1,400 m² of open-plan Berber carpet. Four years of foot traffic, standing water from a leaking AC unit, and a lease inspection in 72 hours.

The Problem

The building's facilities team had been using a portable hot-water unit — the kind that leaves carpets damp for two days and pushes soil into the pile base instead of extracting it.

The Outcome

Three truck-mounted rigs ran overnight. Carpets were dry by 6 AM. The lease inspector passed the space without a single comment on flooring condition.

Camps Bay, Cape Town

Airbnb Superhost, 3-bedroom beachfront villa

The Situation

Red wine — a full bottle — ground into a cream wool-blend carpet at 11 PM on a Saturday. New guests checking in at noon Sunday. R18,000 replacement quote already in hand.

The Problem

Wine tannins bond to wool protein within hours. By the time Fibre arrived at 7 AM, the stain had set for eight hours. A portable machine would have diluted the edges and spread the damage.

The Outcome

Single truck-mounted rig, targeted pre-treatment, 90-minute extraction cycle. The stain came out. The carpet stayed. The guests checked in. The replacement quote went in the bin.

Case Study 03· Restoration

Franschhoek Wine Valley

Facilities Manager, 112-year-old boutique hotel

The Situation

A 34-metre hand-woven runner in the main corridor. Original wool pile, irreplaceable. A century of harvest dinners, cigar smoke, and red clay from the vineyard absorbed into fibres that hadn't been properly extracted in eleven years.

The Problem

Heritage textiles require water temperature precision — too hot and the natural dyes bleed; too cold and the soil doesn't release. Every cleaning company they'd called either refused the job or quoted for replacement.

The Outcome

Two operators, one specialist rig calibrated to 65°C extraction temperature, six hours. The runner came back. The hotel opened the tasting room to 340 harvest season guests the following morning.
